Large curvilinear circular calcification in the center of the chest, consistent with a massively enlarged and peripherally calcified left atrium.
Case Discussion
Chest x-ray of an elderly female patient with a previous mitral valve replacement demonstrates a calcified large left atrium. This patient presumably had mitral valve incompetence.
